"We want a new start in Libya, we want a new era. Gaddafi is no good for us. People are dying, he does not have people's support."

Labour Bramley and Stanningley councillor Neil Taggart said he supported the protesters. He added:

"I have nothing but admiration for the people of Libya in their bid to end this terrible regime. They are paying with their lives, which is a terrible thing. I know Libyan people want a new start and you have my support."

Protesters also demonstrated outside the Parkinson Steps at the University of Leeds.
